Literature-based discovery of diabetes- and ROS-related targets [PDF]
Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known mediators of cellular damage in multiple diseases including diabetic complications. Despite its importance, no comprehensive database is currently available for the genes associated with ROS.

Oxidized SOD1 alters proteasome activities in vitro and in the cortex of SOD1 overexpressing mice
Premature ageing, one of the characteristics of Down syndrome (DS), may involve oxidative stress and impairment of proteasome activity. Transgenic mice overexpressing the human copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene are one of the first murine models for DS and it has been shown that SOD1 overexpression might be either deleterious or beneficial ...

SOD1 Is Essential for the Viability of DT40 Cells and Nuclear SOD1 Functions as a Guardian of Genomic DNA [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are produced during normal cellular metabolism, particularly by respiration in mitochondria, and these ROSs are considered to cause oxidative damage to macromolecules, including DNA. In our previous paper, we found no indication that depletion of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase, SOD2, resulted in an increase in DNA ...

Difficulties in diagnosing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a HIV-Positive Patient
We described a case of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with comorbid HIV infection. The diagnosis was confirmed by genetic tests. The difficulty of the differential diagnosis between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and HIV-associated ALS syndrome is ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative condition affecting the motor system. The heterogenous nature of ALS complicates trial design. Genetic forms of ALS present an opportunity to intervene in a less heterogeneous population.

A model for gain of function in superoxide dismutase
Studies have found that mutant, misfolded superoxide dismutase [Cu–Zn] (SOD1) can convert wild type SOD1 (wtSOD1) in a prion-like fashion, and that misfolded wtSOD1 can be propagated by release and uptake of protein aggregates. In developing a prion-like

Folding of Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase and Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [PDF]
Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) has been implicated in the familial form of the neurodegenerative disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). It has been suggested that mutant mediated SOD1 misfolding/aggregation is an integral part of the pathology ...

Ligand binding and aggregation of pathogenic SOD1 [PDF]
Mutations in the gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase-1 cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Superoxide dismutase-1 mutations decrease protein stability and promote aggregation. The mutant monomer is thought to be an intermediate in the pathway from the superoxide dismutase-1 dimer to aggregate. Here we find that the monomeric copper-apo, zinc-holo

Association of GPX1 Pro198Leu and SOD1 A251G polymorphisms with risk of acute kidney rejection [PDF]
Background/Aim: Acute rejection is one factor threatening the success of kidney transplantation. One of the factors that can cause graft rejection is oxidative stress.

Loss of metal ions, disulfide reduction and mutations related to familial ALS promote formation of amyloid-like aggregates from superoxide dismutase. [PDF]
Mutations in the gene encoding Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are one of the causes of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Fibrillar inclusions containing SOD1 and SOD1 inclusions that bind the amyloid-specific dye thioflavin S have been ...
